Hi Ashley,
As mentioned above, if the student has achieved A2.3 in all 3 aspects of Reading, Writing and S & L – then then are most likely working at the equivalent Vic Curric Level (or close to it). I think it is ok to leave them on A2.3 for a semester if you have reservations (e.g. a grade 2 student is about to move into Grade 3 and you are concerned about their ability to cope on Vic Curric).
Generally, if a student is working at or above standard according to Vic Curric – then it is probably more appropriate for them to come off the EAL continuum.
